- Notes:
-
- Pratt composed "Proclamation" while living in San Francisco. Upon its completion he gave the manuscript to John Murdock and Charles C. Wandall, with instructions to print it as soon as they reached Australia. The day after reaching Sydney the manuscript was sent to a printer, and printed in an edition of 2000 copies. Parley Pratt was the leader of the Pacific Mission, and in this work describes his desire to have the work printed in every language that was spoken inside the Pacific Mission. This is the very scarce first Australian Mormon imprint, and the first Mormon publication outside of North America or Western Europe.
